Premier Clemenceau, France's wonderful old' man, -spent Lis seventy-eighth birthday by visiting the front line trenches, idol of every French soldier. 7 "The Tiger of France," as he is affection- ately called, has been a tower of strength to the Allles. "This 4s not the time to Speak of peace," declares Bishop Fallon, late- ly returned from the front. "The man who relaxes his effort, because there seems to be a rent in the cloud, is not the man who understands. It ig the last five minutes of Me game that counts."

The 'Public Service Bulletin, issu- ed under authority of the Province lof Ontario, devotes liberal space to the consideration of fraternal insur. {ance in, the province. Despite drawbacks of the war, the growth of sueh Insurance is very marked. The report of othe Registrar of Friendly Societies shéws that, not- withstanding the heavy drain on the cleties reporting, there has been not as great a decrease of member- ship as was anticipated. While the membership has decreased slightly, the, assets of the societies have "in- | creased very. . satisfactorily. The { number of members of the various 1917, is 243.781; while the amount of insurance in force was $156,788,705.22; the number of certificates in force anywhere by the societies reporting was 941,682, and the amount of insurance was $1,103,457,343.98. The amount of insurance benefits paid to members in Ontario was $2,556,635.64, and the amount of disability benefits pald was $163,270.78. The total assets in Ontario were $27,341,- 592:47, and the total lability for death claims unpaid at the above date were $402,797.46. . There exist a very large number of small societies paying sick and funeral benefits only. The number of members in this. section was 172,020; the numbér _ of ° deaths among the members was 3,500; the amount paid for funeral benefits was $189,658.20; the number of members who were sick during the year was 33,468. The amount paid for sick benefits was $811,774.82; and the amount paid for medical at- tendance was $90,621.60. The as- sets at the close of the year were $3.923,377.567, while the liabilities were $108,754.74. The © weekly benefit. paid to the members while sick and unable to work is of very great, benefit to them, and relieves @ large amount of distress at a time when the bread winner is laid low.

'With these three strong positions will go Germany's last hope of holding the greater part of northern France and Flanders which are now in her possession.
